is too much! The important is how you put them on the table. Of course, on Christmas Eve
you are supposed to be with your beloveds (family, friends, pets), so you don’t have to be
too formal while setting up the table, but this doesn’t mean that you can be careless.
A beautiful table will make your guests feel welcome and comfortable,
because the right atmosphere is so important!

You could think that they are useless and I would agree with you, unless you have 20

persons to place and they are from 8 to 80+ years old! I usually opt for mixing the ages, but

I leave their places near to it. If you have no time enough to make diy placeholders,
but don’t want to renounce a Christmas touch on your table, see the ones I did here, they are SO
easy and quick to make!
Yes, like that you can do them even now. // Potreste pensare che non servono a molto e potrei
essere d’accordo, a meno che non dobbiate dare un posto a 20 persone con età che vanno dagli
8 agli 80+ anni! Di solito opto per mixare le età, ma tenendo a mente chi saranno le persone che
faranno avanti e indietro dalla cucina e quindi lasciando i loro posti vicini a quest’ultima.
Se non avete tempo di creare dei segnaposto fai da te, ma non volete rinunciare a un tocco natalizio
sulla vostra tavola, guardate quelli che ho realizzato io qui, sono DAVVERO facili e veloci da fare!
Sì, tipo che potete farli persino adesso.

You will put the appetizers on the table few minutes before guests arrival, the same for
each table (if you have more than 1), so that people won’t have to spend the half of time

asking for this or that. In my family, my mom and my aunts cook the main courses, so my task

ends here. Anyway, I am pretty sure you know how to prepare a Christmas Eve dinner and
